[Predisposed connections of chronic oropharyngitis and chronic otitis media respectively the endocrinium of menopause (author's transl)].
Eventual predisposed clinical connections of chronic oropharyngitis and otitis media chronica respectively of serum levels of menopausal hormones are examined by clinical-statistic methods or laboratory diagnostics (ratio-immunoessay). Statistic means point out that 71% of all patients suffering from chronic otitis media show symptoms of chronic oropharyngitis too. The question of connection naturally cannot be cleared up as a demonstration, but nevertheless predisposition seems to be probable. Hormonal influence in female during menopause seems not to be predisposing in pathogenesis of oropharyngitis seen very often in this age. This is shown by normal serum levels of oestradiol, FSH and LH in 30 women with chronic oropharyngitis.
